Is it possible to use astro db with github pages deploy?

[isimmons]

I've gone through the setup for github pages deploy and astro studio deploy and everything seems to be working except that for the --remote flag in the build command, Astro CLI needs to log in to Studio to handle verifying and pushing db changes.

Is there any other way to authenticate before running the astro build --remote command?

Yes, you can follow this guide on how to deploy connecting to Studio.

More specifically, to authenticate to Astro Studio you need an app token. You then add that app token in an ASTRO_STUDIO_APP_TOKEN environment variable when running astro build --remote.

For GH pages you need to add that as a secret and then expose the secret as an env var with:

env:
  ASTRO_STUDIO_APP_TOKEN: ${{secrets.ASTRO_STUDIO_APP_TOKEN }}

Ah well that makes sense. I have a studio.yml workflow and a deploy.yml workflow. I had the env set in the studio.yml but not in the deploy.yml.

Thanks
